With chapters on mental health and wellness and dementia, as well as movement and speech rehabilitation, this comprehensive guide will help all caregivers provide fulfilling support in any senior healthcare setting."--Page [4] of cover.Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed on January 3, 2025).
